Via Highway 530, Arlington, Darrington, Rockport, Marblemount to US 20 to Newhalem and the Diablo Lake Overlook.

First stop on 530, the Oso Slide Memorial. A nice roadside installation, commemorating the 2014 landslide that crossed the river and inundated a whole neighborhood.

Here are Mountain Views along the highway.

Next stop, just outside Rockport, a little roadside park along the Skagit River. We stopped there on the way up, at around 4:00PM, and around 8:15PM on the way back.

Next stop, the town of Newhalem, a Seattle City Light company town. They run the Skagit River Dams that supply power to the city. They are Gorge, Diablo, and Ross Dams.

Next stop Diablo Lake Overlook.

I figure I have all these photos about a thousand times, because we go up so often. But I never tire of taking the same shots!

Time to go back down the mountain.

It was a perfect day for our trip.
